/hover/ - Hovercraft and Advanced Technology

Thomas Townsend Brown had a dream of one day travelling into outer space.

The propulsive effect not being fully understood,

Brown figured he could use electricity in the form of plasma for propelling rockets.

While in class, the teacher electrified a vacuum tube in which Brown noticed a very interesting effect.

Each time the electricity was activated or deactivated, the leads in the vacuum tube jumped.

This effect led Brown to believe that there was a better way to propel rockets using electricity…

There's a book on the subject which is a pretty rare find.

In the 1950's, information on these type of things became scarce

and it has seemingly remained so since then for most enthusiasts until recently,

when the internet made things easier for those looking up this type of information.

Only one library was known to contain this book and the book itself was unlisted,

making it one of the most difficult library books to get a hold of.
